......I swear I was about to go off for yall not keeping this shyt in our team thread where it belongs. so at least I respect the fact yall brought the shyt in here. but still....hassan played like shyt in the 4th. he still played solid overall, but from the 2nd half this was his first BAD game of the playoffs. he needs these type of reality checks to keep him motivated. his weaknesses are being put on display and I have no doubt he's gonna fix them going into next season. young players need to get exposed now and then to realize what they need to improve. but again...i'm not trippin. he's putting up numbers that no center has in the playoffs in a decade. I got faith dude will improve even in the very next game.If we beat the Raptors that is going to hurt us next series.
If we meet the Cavs Tristan Thompson is going to kill him on the boards if Valawhatever is out hustling him like this.Hassan is injured. His play will suffer.
That's fine.
But everyone is battling injuries at this time of year. It's playoffs. Win or go home.
You don't see many players moping around and hanging his head the way he is when injured. He has to stop that. Even Shaq pointed in out on Inside the NBA when he first got injured in the Charlotte series.
Lets be honest. That body language and effort was flat out disgusting today. Especially when you compare it to the hustle of Valench-whatever his name is.
Yep
I gotta agree. Winslow is giving us nothing on offense. Yeah he's defending well but we're playing a man down when he's out because teams are straight ignoring him like Dallas did to Joel Anthony and Mike bibby and that shyt will cost you a series. Our offense hasn't got enough strengths to basically give teams a power play on on end of the court for significant minutes.
you can't even compare tristan with val. hassan always has issues on the boards with the big muscle guys like drummond and val. they just push him out the paint. hassan NEVER has problems with tristan. tristan and love had a combined 3 rebs the last time they went up against hassan.
doubt it well at least in Miami he don't
word play Gerald...i hate sittin on L's
Tristan Thompson won't do anything against Whiteside. Val has great size over Trist and is a much better low-post scorer defender than Trist. Whiteside will abuse Trist, like last time when Cleveland tried to play is small, and we forced them to switch it up....
like this doesn't work both ways......if bosh was out there too shook to post up kyle lowry you wouldn't say a word. so we can go back and forth on that all day
Playoffs now and Tristan is playing better now. For our sake I hope you're right though.
but also tristan offers nothing on offense, so he's not gonna keep hassan occupied. hassan will be more available to help on the weakside. if there's one series that's all about matchups it's heat/cavs. you can't take anything from this series with toronto and apply it to the cavs. it's gonna be a totally different feel.
like this doesn't work both ways

hassan absolutely has to add around 10-15 lbs this off season. he's strong for his size but overcoming 25 lbs is just too much. if done right, he can add 15 lbs without losing too much leaping ability.I've shyt on Bosh before for playing soft and unaggressive and I've mentioned his flaws numerous times.
Val is just a good mixture of size, strength, and mobility. He's more mobile and fluid on his feet while Whiteside is longer and a more explosive leaper.
Val just seems a tad stronger than Whiteside and his motor was still strong because Toronto had ignored him so he was moving fresh.
I was mostly annoyed with his shytty body language and motor. Dude looked completely lost and unengaged on both ends. His post game was on some
